Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Zombie Tribal and Reanimator midrange strategy commanded by The Scarab God. It builds an early army using efficient Zombie creatures like Cryptbreaker, Stitcher's Supplier, and Champion of the Perished, supported by 2-CMC mana rocks. In the midgame, it uses graveyard tutors like Entomb and Buried Alive to seed game-ending creatures into graveyards. Once The Scarab God enters the battlefield on Turn 5, it takes control of the game by creating 4/4 Zombie token copies of the best creatures in any graveyard at instant speed. The deck steadily bleeds the entire table with upkeep drain triggers while fixing draws through large scries. It closes games by combining massive life loss from Gray Merchant of Asphodel and Diregraf Captain with an overwhelming attack from buffed, evasive Zombie tokens, backed up by mass reanimation via Living Death.
